Whatever happened to him? Coming to Britain not once
but twice this year is Peter Metelnick, the Canadian choreographer responsible for hits including T Bone Shuffl e, Psychabilly Boogie, Joyridin and Shakin’All Over….
His spring tour includes 18 dates and commences on May 1st….
A native of Ontario, Metelnick has been an instructor for the past fi ve years and is a director of two teams, based in his home town of London. His prolifi c output include Goin’ Once, Goin’ Twice, All Night Long, Moving On, Strawberry Waltz and Roll With It to name a few… (April 1998 – Page 11)
And
whatever happened to her?
“…Although only a Line dance instructor for four years, Maggie (Gallagher’s) dance background comprises of twenty two years as a trained Irish dancer – which she also teaches – as well as tap, modern and ballet …..
It’s apparent to anyone who meets Maggie Gallagher that she is a virtual whirlwind of dancing endeavours. In May this year she organised a nine hour Line dance marathon at the Leofric Hotel, Coventry which raised a staggering £8,000 for local sick and disabled children.
In 1997, the same event collected a
massive £6,000 …. Friends and family may take some of the strain, but only Maggie Gallagher can wear her dance shoes, and she does so with a fervour that infects those around her.
She has accomplished much in her chosen career, and her extensive and varied dance CV belies the number of candles sitting on her cake – which are actually added to this month … Happy 30th Birthday, Maggie. (December 1998 - Page 39)
So you had to be a closet country lover. But now so many young, hip people are doing it, which is a sign of the “New” West. And I’m glad to say I’m Country…”
(excerpt of interview by Steve Crosby- November 1998 - Page 17)
Cover 28 - July
This cover has it all. This is part of the photo shoot Jo refers to in her words about what Linedancer means to her in this very issue.
Alan Livett, John Robinson and Robyn April Rivard-Darby Maguire are there with her and you can almost “feel” the fun they all had and that was so representative of dance then!
26 December
Hello Dolly …To meet the authentic article in the
fl esh so to speak, was a genuine thrill…. What the pictures don’t show you is the charismatic aura she carries with her, the positive energy she embraces and the realisation that this is no fi gure of fun but a clever businesswoman, a superb communicator and a lady who uses her image to her total advantage…. Country music has taken so long to
fi nd its niche. At one time you would have been embarrassed as a fan to say you really loved country music.
